Balmain Coach

[rooboy]

on the matter of coaches and being named in the best, Archer for Sydney Uni has easily been there best player every game so far, and was a stand-out against UNSWES, but I notice he hasn't once figured in the best. Surely this is how it is meant to be done. Hats off to Archer and I hope he's team continue to improve, like they obviously have over the weekend.

Don't worry, I am not about to change my name to I_Heart_Archer. Kefalas is still the one.

I heart Kefalas or may l call you IHK, Yes Archer does lead from the front, the only playing coach in Sydney that does. Noticed you on the telly your in good nick! Will you make the state team? Please tell Leigh to lay off the the flanges, christ he has stacked it on. Roll out the barrel!!!!!!!

I got some great news coming up. stayed tuned.

BeeEmmAre - I guess at the end of the day coaches have different reasons why they may put a player in the best or not, and it may not always represent the actual best for the day. Would you agree?

tara - From all reports you do a fine job and I am not in a position to argue. However, I highly doubt that all coaches or assistants, get to see every game every week. If I was coaching I wouldn't always have my best players in the best every week. That's all.

I see where you're coming from and I agree with what you're saying.
I just don't think it is right - I believe it is selling short the guys who deserve to be there and the long distance supporters who want to know exactly how their team and players are going.

[The Rooster]

Totally agree KC. It must be hard to pick the 6 best when you have grocs like you & rooster playing and taking spots of others who really have the best interest of the club at heart.

Geez both of you were average against the Dockers. Is Troy allowed to be accountable? is he allowed to do anything he wants on the field?this because of the lack of money you can pay him? Coles had 10 shots on goal. If he kicked straight you were gone. One thing l give you KC at least your not like Hall.

average at what point did a balmain player make rthe effort to man me up?????? took 8 marks in the last 1/4 and all i could hear from the peanut gallery was..... WHOS ON PARKER.......

Fair enough, I guess I see merit in both sides.

[Key Forward]

I wasnt suggesting that all of them do, more so that one person with a good knowledge of what the coaching staff are wanting feedback on does. More in relation to Prem League. First Div most should have an idea of who is out there and who their main competiton will be. I would expect that those guys have a look at teams they percieve to be the biggest threat. In my position I had very little idea of the competition we would face and needed to get a feel for the other sides.

Would agree with you here mate. Good Luck with your year I will be keeping an eye out on how you are going.

Parks, no need to please anyone but yourself and KC, oh and your co-captain!

Good to see the rooster still carves up Alma Fudds. I want to see him play well against a good side, not look good against a bunch of chickens!

[shearer]

I cannot believe the first 3 blokes named in the best today for Balmain, they didnt go near it. I hope the club isnt paying these guys bonus payments off who gets in the best? Wouldnt be fair to the players who did have a crack.

He went well again Brian against fair opposition, but feel free too take the air out of his tyres.

Great stuff Rooboy, good to have you back and look forward to hearing the news! Thanks also for your kind words, Kefalas for the state team is certainly very flattering and i agree totally.

BTW I have passed on your generous advice to Leigh, he typically and arrogantly responded '@@@@ off, I'll eat and @@@@ all the flange i can"... He is such a rude pr*ck. He has definitely been doing his best Elvis impersonation lately, and we are really working hard to help him stay under the 130kg mark. He is now more focused on his weekly column (lethal's lines) on the www.unswesbulldogs.com website than he is on his own playing career!

Must admit i had a chuckle when i saw Hall named again Shearer. As the very best for Balmain on the weekend too!! I didn't see the game but will back your judgement that he wasn't that good. It would embarrass me being named every week when i have been playing @@@@. But maybe he likes his name up in lights?

Pass on congrats to Lethal on the column, have you thought about having Rooboy as a guest columnist? He could certainly add some insightful previews and reviews of the Sydney AFL....He could also do a bit of comedy...I know I get a good laugh out of him.

[Bryan Strauchan]

KC, agree with your regarding the rooster, he certainly can talk the talk and I will only be to happy to eek a little air out or even slash the odd tyre or two. I must admit though despite his poor record against good sides he is a real charcter of the comp. I wouldn't go out in public with a head like that but he actually rates it...... maybe his mirrors fog up in the mornings before he leaves.

Regarding the expert columnist Lethal, I believe if he put rooboy on as an assistant he would probably dip him in choclate and eat him such is his current form on the fang. More power to the XXXL club!

You must be mates with drinky

It could be argued that getting some action in Darwin is not unlike gathering possessions against a bottom placed side....
